The Story

When aspiring models Jack Walker and Diana Stone land a dream opportunity with the exclusive agency Plastikos, they think they've made it. But an invitation to a private party with the agency’s mysterious founder, Sebastian, turns sinister. Trapped in a nightmarish ritual of the elite, they must fight to survive, and confront the horrifying price of perfection.


We're living in a world obsessed with image. Every day we scroll past “perfect” faces, bodies, lives, carefully curated, filtered, and fed to us by algorithms. And whether we admit it or not, it’s affecting how we see ourselves and each other.
I wrote Stitched as a dark, twisted take on that reality- a psychological horror about two young models who think they’ve made it big, only to discover that perfection comes at a terrifying cost.
- Director Hannah Colburn
So why this story, and why now?
This isn’t just a story about a dystopian world- it’s about all of us. About what we sacrifice to fit in. About the pressure to be perfect. About losing yourself for the sake of being “liked.”
We’re telling this story now because we think it needs to be told. Because the pressure to be perfect isn’t just fictional- it’s something people are living with every day, especially younger generations. Through horror and surrealism, Stitched pulls back the curtain on that pressure and asks: what’s the real cost of chasing the ideal?
If that resonates with you- if you’ve ever felt like you weren’t enough, or been caught in the trap of comparison- we’d love your support. Help us bring Stitched to life, and spark a conversation we think is long overdue.

Who We Are — and Why We're Making This Film
We’re a team of up-and-coming directors, writers, actors, and producers with one big thing in common: we love telling bold, meaningful stories. We're not backed by studios or big budgets- just by love and passion for movies, and the desire to make something that matters.
Stitched is a story we believe in. It’s eerie, it’s thought-provoking, and it taps into something very real about the world we’re all living in- especially for young people navigating identity in the age of social media.
Like so many creatives today, we’re building this from the ground up. That means writing, casting, producing, directing, and pulling every string we can to make this film come to life. We’re working with small but mighty resources, wearing many hats, and giving it everything we’ve got, not because it’s easy, but because we know how powerful stories can be.
Backing this project isn’t just helping us make a film, it’s helping a new generation of filmmakers break into an industry that often feels impossible to access. Every dollar goes directly into the work: paying artists, securing locations, getting the right gear, and creating something we can all be proud of.
If you believe in original stories, in new voices, and in passionate people chasing their dream- we’d be honored to have your support.

How We’ll Use Your Support — and What Comes Next
Our film, Stitched, is ready to come to life. The script is locked, our cast and crew are assembled, and the locations are secured. We’ve done the groundwork. Now, we just need the funding to get the cameras rolling.
Here’s where your contribution goes:
- Securing Locations – Booking our confirmed spaces for filming in August.
- Production Equipment – Renting gear to bring Stitched to the screen with the quality it deserves.
- Art Direction & Wardrobe – Creating the unsettling, stylized world of Stitched through visuals, costume, and makeup.
- Festival Submissions – Once complete, we’ll be submitting Stitched to film festivals to share it with a wider audience and start building our voices in the industry.
Timeline:
- August: Principal photography (shooting begins!)
- September–November: Post-production and fine-tuning
- December: Final cut ready and sent to festivals
We’ve built this project with care and intention, and now we’re asking for your help to take it over the finish line! Every dollar will go directly into production, helping an ambitious group of up-and-coming filmmakers tell a story that’s bold, timely, and deeply personal.
With your support, we can make Stitched a reality- and make it the first of many.
